Meta rolls out teen AI parental controls amid FTC scrutiny

Meta rolls out teen AI parental controls amid FTC scrutiny
Meta is adding new supervision tools for teen interactions with its AI features, signaling a shift toward stricter youth safeguards under intensifying regulatory and public scrutiny. The company plans to let parents disable one-on-one chats between teens and AI characters across its platforms, with options to block specific personas and review high-level conversation topics. Meta says its teen experiences will follow a PG-13-style content framework and will restrict discussions around sensitive areas such as self-harm and eating disorders. Meta is still building the controls and expects an initial rollout early next year, starting on Instagram in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia.

South Korea Sovereign AI Strategy

South Korea Sovereign AI Strategy
South Korea is funding a national AI stack to reduce dependence on foreign models, protect data, and tune AI to its language and industries. The government has committed ₩530 billion (about $390 million) to five companies building large-scale foundation models: LG AI Research, SK Telecom, Naver Cloud, NC AI, and Upstage. Progress will be reviewed every six months, with underperformers cut and resources concentrated on the strongest until two leaders remain. The policy goal is clear: build world-class, Korean-first AI capability that supports national security, economic competitiveness, and data sovereignty. For telecoms and enterprise IT, this is a shift from “consume global models” to “operate domestic AI platforms” integrated with local data, compliance, and services.

FTC Probe Targets AI Chatbot Companions

FTC 6(b) Probe Targets AI Chatbot Companions
The U.S. Federal Trade Commission has initiated a broad 6(b) study into consumer-facing AI companion chatbots, focusing on risks to children and teens and the governance controls companies have in place. The agency issued orders to seven firms operating at the center of generative AI and social platforms: Alphabet, Character Technologies (Character.AI), Instagram, Meta Platforms, OpenAI, Snap, and xAI. Under its Section 6(b) authority, the FTC is seeking detailed information on how these providers design, test, deploy, and monetize AI companions, and how they limit harms to children and adolescents. The Commission’s vote to proceed was unanimous, signaling cross-party attention on youth safety in AI.
